Don't know about the ipod thing, I just use my AUX input. But the Uconnect was not built into Wrangler for noise reasons. (So I was told). Uconnect just doesn't work with the top down. You can buy the Uconnect system as a plug-n-play set-up if you look online. A friend has it and it works about as well as any $75 hands-free device you're going to get at Best Buy. IMO.

the U-connect has worked fabulous in all 3 of my JK's! the one thing you gain from putting the factory system in is iPOD control from your radio controls.. thats a big plus....

I use my U-connect all the time.. people can hear me better on it than they do my bluetooth headset or the Onstar in the truck I had previously...

i cant speak for the ipod control either, but the uconnect is AMAZING!!! all i did was purchase the mic from the dealer for i think around 40$. then u either have them enable it in the radio, or goto the engineering menu(mygig) and enable it!!
i put my mic right next to the eject button on my mygig.
and as someone else said its kinda useless with top down and doors off..
more useless with doors off than top, but its hard for the other person to hear....
well worth the $$.. i want to pickup the ipod control cable too so i start using my ipod again.
